Soros Group Wins $172 Million Contract From Biden

[Foxnews] A left-wing nonprofit working to end mass incarceration landed a $171.7 million taxpayer-funded government contract that could potentially hit $1 billion to help unaccompanied minors avoid deportation, Fox News Digital has discovered.

The Vera Institute of Justice, a New York-based group that supports defunding police and views immigration enforcement agencies as a "threat" to civil liberties, was awarded a Health and Human Services-funded contract in March to provide legal assistance to unaccompanied minors, according to a federal database.

The arrangement lasts until March 2023 but can reach as high as $983 million if renewed until March 2027, the agreement shows. This appears to be the largest federal contract Vera has secured for immigration-related services for any single year dating back to the mid-2000s.

The lofty nine-figure contract came amid an escalating border crisis that saw more than 239,000 migrant encounters in May alone -- a historic high. There were 14,699 encounters of unaccompanied minors in May, an increase from the 12,180 encountered in April and slightly higher than the 14,052 encountered in May 2021.

#1 Vera Institute of Justice (VIJ) - InfluenceWatch

Vera Institute of Justice (VIJ) was founded in the 1960s as a project of Louis Schweitzer, an eccentric New York philanthropist and Herbert Sturz, a trustee of George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. Originally known as the Manhattan Bail Project, the organization was founded to help poor New Yorkers satisfy bail conditions they could not afford.

#2 Does Biden even have the authority to grand this contract? I thought congress had to approve this kind of thing?

#3 ^ Who's to say they're not all 'stakeholders' by default?

#4 Congress didn't approve all the money he has spent through executive orders either. In other words he just does wtf he wants to.

#6 The Vera Institute gets most of its budget from government grants and is incestuously intertwined with a number of similar ~~charities~~ NGOs, according to Woodrow Wittlesbach6712’s link and the last three keyword-linked articles on the subject in the Rantburg archives.

Someone should work up a list for the next Republican president to clean up in his first weeks of office.

#7 ^^^ This! If we have to have a deficit, let's at least not run it up by funding subversives.
